Broke my FC4, too.
I normally run GNOME, and I noticed it when 'bzflag' failed to launch.
Running 'bzflag' in terminal window gave similar messages:
	Creating link /home/foobar/.kde/...
	can't create mcop directory
When I logged out of my "usual" account and logged into my
experimental account which *does* run kde, I ran 'bzflag'.  It ran,
but the so-called sound was just clicking noises.

Prior to the aforementioned updates, 'bzflag' worked flawlessly in
either account.  (Well, except for the human component which is really
no good at any game.  :-)

FWIW: I can play if I use: bzflag -mute
but the point is that something is now terribly wrong with the sound
components in my FC4 system!
